World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Well I'm not saying, as you seem to hinge your argument on, that Netanyahu is blameless
I mean, he ran his election campaign on it! lol
I'm saying Hamas should not be excused for helping him win it.
Here we go again you keep talking about Netanyahu which we all know he is a terrible war criminal. Yet you can't admit that Israel always wanted the whole land . I showed you that Shimon Perez who was his opponent was as bad as Netanyahu. I showed you Israeli leaders all over the decades defending occupation. I will repeat them again

We would like this to be an entity which is less than a state, and which will independently run the lives of the Palestinians under its authority. The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines. Yitzhak Rabin
There is Israeli leaders that are less honest than others that's all. All of them do not want a Palestinian state
Do you think Arafat wanted an Israeli state?
So now you even deny that Arafat wanted an Israeli state. Have some shame please
https://2001-2009.state.gov/p/nea/rls/22579.htm
In return Rabin recognized the PLO but not the Palestinian state. So we know very well that it is Israel who never ever recognized the other side based on 67 border
Since you keep ignoring evidence I have to copy again the same proofs

I'm not asking whether Arafat agreed to Oslo - we know he did. I'm asking whether you think he was keeping his fingers crossed behind his back when he did. You seem to think this was the case for Rabin and Perez, so why don't you extend the same courtesy to Arafat?
I think it would be very interesting for you to read up on Netanyahu's criticism of the Oslo Accords from back when he was an opposition leader running against Perez. You'll be happily surprised to find out he was using the exact same arguments as you are now, claiming the other side could never be trusted.
You asked if Arafat recognized the state of Israel and he did and I provided you the evidence. I gave you ststements from Israeli leaders from all eras and ignored them
You are the one who keep blaming palestinian for the maintenance of the occupation like Netenyahu claim and all Israel leaders refused to give Palestinians a full fledged state with full sovereignty
You need to read my comment again then. I didn't ask whether he stated he recognized it after Oslo. .
Then what do you make of this statement by Arafat?
His last position was that he recognized israel right to exist. Israel position since it's creation is no palestinian state ever
You are not discudding in good faith.
But why do you agree that Arafat was able to change his position because of Oslo, but not Rabin and Perez?
I'm not discudding in bad faith, I believe you are twisting yourself to justify Hamas sabotaging the peace accords
You have volunteer dementia. Like I already told you Netanyahu himself admitted that he was the one who sabotaged it . You just hide behind Hamas to justify occupation . Hamas or not Israel has the obligation to end occupation unconditionally. Israel continued killing peaceful Palestinian protestors after the Oslo accords and before Hamas started his first suicide bombing . The number of settlers increased during Rabin and Rabin never acknowledged a full state by it's own admission . If you have a statement from Perez where he accept a Palestinians state that include East Jerusalem, all of the west bank and Gaza that international laws supports with all it's right : an army to defend itself, full control over the borders, import and export, natural ressources etc .
I will keep repeating the same points that you keep ignoring as much as necessary
Can you explain 'volunteer dementia' and how it relates to you accepting Arafat changing his position?
